Chapter 16 - A rather unfair fight.

Rias loved Kuro...

He didn't want to think about it, but it was true. He'd spent the day spying on them at the convention, and he couldn't ignore the obvious any more. Sending Grayfia did nothing, she could stop Kuro from going for Rias, but she couldn't stop Rias from going after Kuro herself.

He could kill Kuro? Which would break Rias, even if he could blame it on someone else, besides Serafall was oddly attached to him, if he did she'd investigate his death. He'd sworn not to hurt her again.

She was weaker than him, but he could admit she was certainly smarter, he wasn't convinced that he could deceive her over this, and explaining why he killed Kuro would be... unfortunate. And that was assuming that Azazel didn't join the investigation... and Yasaka...

He wasn't good enough at Hypnosis to control Rias for any length of time, and Kuro was getting too strong to be controlled. Of course he was getting too strong all together, he was still weaker than him of course, but he went from a decently strong mage, absurdly strong mage in no time at all.

From a Satan standpoint it was wonderful, he was a brilliant asset, from his magic, his potions and his connections he was a incredibly good recruit. Which is why Serafall would stop at nothing to find out how he died, tracking the killer like a hell hound.

From a personal standpoint it was terrible. Rias wanted him more than anything, and she would stop at nothing to get him. She was stubborn like that.

He couldn't do anything to Kuro without massive consequences, plus if it came out that he did it, Rias would hate him forever. And even he couldn't beat Serafall, Azazel and Yasaka if they all came for him. He could beat any of them individually, but even two of them would be enough to end him.

He couldn't really stop Rias either, any mind magic would wear off eventually, it was fine for short term, but it wouldn't last for ever. And when it wore off he'd have a lot of questions to answer.

He should have seen this coming, of course Rias would grow attached to him after he beat Riser... Kuro was her beloved Saviour, and he was the big broth-

She was just the big sister, that wouldn't use her power to get Rias out of her marriage...

Her precious Rias-tan was growing up and leaving her behind... she couldn't allow that, but what could she do about it?

...maybe, just maybe she could take a leaf out of Serafall's book?

- Kuro -

Getting a message that I had lost 30 Reputation with Sirzechs over jealousy was worrying. I'll admit I panicked, using both my Genderbend Cheat Code, and my Heart Crystal in my panicked state.

I'm surprised that Millicas still exists, since both Sirzechs and Grayfia are female and as far as this world's history is concerned they always have been, how does that even work? Maybe there's a Merlin in this world using weird Futa Magic to make a child between them? I don't know, and I'm not sure I want to know in truth, something's are better left unknown.

In the new history, Ajuka used experimental magic to let Sirzechs impregnate Grayfia, but it had both a even lower success rate than regular pregnancy, and a very high infant mortality rate, so it was banned and the research was abandoned.

Millicas is essentially a miracle child, a one in a million.

Or you could just tell me I guess.

Anyway, I should get back to what I was doing.

Knocking quietly on Millicas's door, I smirk as he opens it.

"H-hello, Lord Kuro... is there something you need?" he asks not making eye contact.

"Really kid? Venelana could you I had spirits watching you and you just couldn't help yourself?" I say amused as he rapidly pales. "Shall we talk in here? Or do you want to go somewhere else, so we aren't next to your mothers room?" I ask amused.

"Ss-somewhere el-else.." he says actually shaking in fear as I lead him to the living room.

As I sit down he just stands there trembling.

"Sit down kid." I order as he practically jumps into the seat opposite me. "So, is there any reason I shouldn't tell your Grandmother like she asked me too? And your mother as well?" I ask casually.

- Millicas -

"I- But... I... No sir." he says with tears forming in his eyes.

He had no excuse, there was no legitimate excuse he could use to get out off this, he knew the risks, and then he did it anyway. Now he would just have to pay the price...

His mothers would be furious, and his Grandmother would be so disappointed in him.

But that doesn't really benefit me, so here's the deal, from now on, you take order from me, just like your mother, and in exchange I won't tell your mother what a degenerate you are, as long as I don't catch you again, fair enough?" I ask calmly as he looks down in thought.

"I... you won't tell my mothers?" he says biting his lip.

"No, it doesn't benefit me to tell on you." I say.

"Umm... ok, what do I have to do?" he asks as I think about it.

+10 Reputation with Millicas Gremory

+10 Obedience with Millicas Gremory

I didn't think this far ahead to be honest, I just wanted the rep so I can try and max him out, and get those sweet bonus rewards.

Taking out the Raygun I got from Azazel I shoot him with it making him flinch. As I watch in mild interest, his hair lengthens slightly, as his face becomes slightly... softer, he was already pretty feminine, and he is too young to have breasts so his body doesn't change much either

"Come here." I order as she flinches, slowly rising as she walks in front of me. She's pretty cute, but I mostly wanted to see how the Raygun works, reaching forwards I pull her silk pyjama bottoms down, looking at the clearly female pussy in front of me, if I didn't know any better I'd be sure she was always a she. I'd like to see if this wears off, but I don't want to have to explain why he is now a she, so this will do for now.

Shooting her again, turns her back to a him.

"That's be all for now, go to bed, and try not to jerk off to your mother again, remember, I'll know." I say getting up and leaving him alone, it's been a long day, and I am tired.

- Millicas -

He was just a girl.

Lord Kuro just shot him with a weird gun, and then he was a girl.

What.

And now he had to obey Lord Kuro... who could turn him into a girl...

He really didn't like where this was going...

But it was better than his family finding out right? All he had to do was obey, and he wouldn't be disowned, and knowing that the spirits were always watching him would keep him from peeking again.

Knowing he was always being watched worked as a good deterrent.

But he had an idea of what he was going to be doing for Lord Kuro, and it was... not great if he was being honest.

He never wanted to find out what sex was like from a female perspective, but he also didn't think he was going to have much of a choice, he really didn't want to disappoint his family, and his grandmother had warned him, if he couldn't last more than a hour before he disobeyed her then she would be extremely disappointed, honestly her disappointment was worse than her anger.

Maybe it wouldn't be that bad? His mother certainly didn't seem to mind... neither did his Grandmother, maybe it would be okay?

- Kuro -

I don't want to push the kid too far, too fast. Better to take things slow for now. I need to work out if Sirzechs is going to be a problem, even female she could still decide to end me like the over-protective sis-con she is. At least she can't drop to -100 now, her minimum is now -90, but that's still low enough for her to attack me, and I didn't manage to turn Grayfia and stop her from trying to kill me, just for Sirzechs to kill me off.

Maybe I should consider ditching this world sooner, rather than later?

No, not yet anyway.

I have the battle tomorrow, and then I want to visit Yasaka, maybe get Sona as well before I leave. I'm not going to run off just because the sis-con is throwing a temper tantrum.

I'll leave when I am good and ready, and not a moment before.

Heading to my room I get into bed, I could go grab one of the girls, but I've had enough for a today. I love sex, I really do, but there's been no end to it today, and I just want to sleep.

Wait do Liches need sleep? Can they even have sex? That could change my willingness to rip out my soul considerably.

They can, or at least you'll be able to.

And no they don't need sleep, Liches are immune to the regular needs off Mortals.

So, to be clear, I will still be able to have sex? Cause I have a harem, and I need everything to work downstairs.

...seriously what is it with Gamers and their obsession with sex?

Yes, you'll have a method to keep your human appearance, and all of it's functionalities, including sex.

Like Shiro would ever let me change you into a sexless race...

He thinks any race that can't have sex is an abomination that has no right to exist, usually he either alters the entire race making them capable of sex, or he just commits Genocide... again.

That... doesn't surprise me.

Still it's good to know that I can keep the important bits, what would be the point of being surrounded by hot girls if nothing down there worked?

I still need to find a good place to put my soul though, it might be better to wait until the next world, this world has too many people who could recognise my Phylactery for what it is, and I don't want my soul to fall into anyone's hands.

Last thing I need is to end up like Davy Jones, from the second Pirates movie, forced to obey people who are holding my source of immortality hostage.

The Game said my Hub world was next, so keeping my soul in my Hub makes sense, I just have to eliminate every potential threat in the next world.

Hopefully it'll be weaker than this one, with my luck I wouldn't be massively surprised if I ended up in 40K or Asura's Wrath, with a pissed off pseudo-god throwing a planet at me. Asura's Wrath had a terrifying power ceiling, with the first main boss growing bigger than a planet, and it only got worse from there.

But there's no point in wondering now, guessing doesn't get me anywhere.

I'll just have to wait and see, for now it's time to sleep.

- Next Morning -

Heading to school with Asia following me, I think about how I am going to handle the fight tonight, I don't think I'm going to use Shisui or Kushimaru. It'd be overkill to deal with Sona and Rias's Peerage's.

Asia is busy going over some notes, and muttering to herself so I'll leave her to it.

My horde alone, plus my own power will be enough to handle this, besides I can guard my base with my Dragon, and I don't think they have the power to actually damage it. But that's assuming that we are both starting in a base like we did in the fight against Riser.

Even if we don't and it's an open field type of arena, then I'll still have the advantage simply due to my pure numbers. Rias has four people including herself, five if Gasper joins in. And Sona has seven, also including herself.

That's eleven, or twelve against over a hundred, and even my weakest forces, my skeletons are higher level than them, even if they lack the more diverse powers my opponents will have, my Wraiths and Lost Souls can handle my ranged magic attacks, and my Bayrok's can handle the ranged physical attacks. My Scheming Spirits will handle the scouting, so I can make sure they can't ambush me. And I have countless melee fighters under my command, so they can't fight me in close range or they'll be overwhelmed.

I've got some more information on the battle from Sona by text, Serafall is the one arranging things, and she's taking the role of judge this time, not Grayfia. So I can almost certainly count on Serafall being biased as fuck, but that's fine, I can handle it even if Serafall changes things in Sona's favour.

Quest Added

[Just a training match...]

Objective: Win the pseudo rating game

Reward: 5 Levels in a random class, 1 Heart Crystal, Increased Aff/Rep with involved people

Works for me, sorry girls, but now I have a reason to win so I won't be taking things easy on you. 5 levels will be nice, no matter where they end up.

Arriving at the school I walk towards Sona from her usual spot by the gate.

"Good Morning President." I say with a slight grin as she blushes.

"Good Morning Kuro, are you ready for tonight?" she asks as Tsubaki giggles.

"I am, this is Asia Argento, our new transfer student." I say placing a hand on her head as she blushes.

"H-hello, thank you for letting me come to school despite me being... umm you know..." she says glancing around as she tries to hint at her supernatural connections, I've already told her who all the Devils are in this place.

"It was no problem, both myself and Rias owe Kuro anyway. This was a relatively small thing." she says before she turns to me. "After class, don't go home, we will all be going to the underworld straight from school, if that's alright with you." she explains.

"That's fine, I've got everything I need already. I'll see you later, I need to get Asia to our home room." I say looking around to make sure there isn't anyone watching before I lean forwards and giving Sona a light kiss making her turn bright red as I do.

"I- Umm... I'll see you later..." she stutters as I walk past her, already hearing Tsubaki teasing Sona in the background.

+6 Affection with Sona Sitri [74/100] (you know what for)

+3 Affection with Tsubaki Shinra [39/100] (for giving her new teasing material)

"Are you and the President... Umm..." Asia starts, before trailing off.

"Sort of. I have a lot of girls I'm... a bit more than friendly with." I say with a half laugh. After a moment of thought I lean down and give her a kiss so she doesn't feel left out making her turn red as well.

+4 Affection with Asia Argento [70/100] (you know what for)

With a laugh I stroke her hair as she looks away from me, unable to make eye contact with me. Seriously, she was completely ready to get intimate before when she misunderstood what I wanted, but a kiss makes her turn bright red? Girls are weird.

As we reach the classroom, I introduce her to the teacher before leaving her, giving her a pat on the shoulder encouraging before I take my seat. Kalawarner has been teaching her Japanese, and she's picked it up surprisingly fast. She's a smart girl, even if she is a bit naïve.

Unsurprisingly it takes only a small introduction for Asia to become popular, the adorable foreign girl was always going to shoot up in popularity, and with the perverted trio dead, there's no one to give her any trouble with their stupid antics.

She sits next to me, happily telling everyone that she lives with me, and I bullshit my way out of this saying I'm looking after her for my uncle, good old Uncle Azazel.

I am a slight bit worried about how Aika is getting close to her, Asia's been corrupted enough already, but then I decide that really? I don't care. It's not like I am not going to try and get Asia in the Harem anyway. Having the perverted girl do some of the leg work for me works out just fine.

Classes pass fairly quickly, and without any issues. I was going to have lunch with Asia today, but she gets abducted by Aika, so I eat with the Kendo Girls instead. It's nice that Asia is making friends, even if the friend is a terrible pervert with many issues.

+3 Affection with Katase [53/100] (for spending time with her)

+3 Affection with Murayama [38/100] (for spending time with her)

After classes finish I send Asia home with Kalawarner who came to pick her up after I sent a message back home telling them that I would be heading straight out to the Rating Game. Kalawarner and Asia seem pretty close, and Asia immediately starts excitedly explaining how her day has been as Kalawarner leads her away.

But now it's time for my fight. I can't see me actually losing this in honestly, no matter how I look over things I can't see any way for them to actually beat me, as long as I play things smart.

Admittedly Variant Destruction might be a problem, and if they've worked out how to use it already then so could Staring Blue and Green, I am pretty sure that my undead will be weak to Light Magic, but I doubt they'll be able to out-shoot my Bayroks, and they only have two archers compared to my five.

Knocking on the student council door it opens immediately as Tsubaki shows me inside.

"We'll be ready in just a moment, we are just waiting for Rias and her Peerage to arrive." Sona says filling in some paperwork as I take a seat, I can't help but notice the hungry eyes of her Peerage on me, and it's not the usual lustful hunger I am used too.

They want to beat me, a lot. Sorry but I have levels on the line, so I can't let you win. If there's one thing that would make me take a fight seriously, it's free levels. Ohh, and my survival, but that's irrelevant in this fight.

Tsubaki serves me some tea, maybe it's a Queen thing to make tea? And as I sip it Rias and her Peerage arrive, missing Gasper.

Lucky for me, I'm not sure how to fight someone who can pause time.

"Right, is everyone ready?" Sona asks as I down my tea, thanking Tsubaki as I put the cup down and get up.

"I am." I say as everyone gathers around, Sona activates a magical circle sending us all to the underworld.

As I look around I see a busty woman with long red head giving me a rather intense look before Serafall jumps both me and Sona, pulling us into a hug.

"Kuro-kun! Sona-tan! Are you both ready for your fated battle?" she shouts as our faces are pushed into her breasts, she's deliberately pushing our faces together as she does.

After a considerable struggle we manage to escape, I'll admit I didn't try and escape too hard, she can suffocate me with those massive breasts whenever she wants.

"Fated Battle? Sure, I'm ready." I say amused as the redhead approaches.

"You aren't going to be too mean to my precious Rias-tan are you?!" Sirzechs but female says getting a groan from Rias.

"Leave Kuro alone, this is a fight. I don't want him to take it easy on us. That would defeat the whole point of this, besides we have him massively outnumbered." Rias says dodging Sirzechs attempt to hug her. Sirzechs just looks like a older Rias, with larger tits. I don't know how I didn't work that out earlier now that I look at them both together. As she says I'm outnumbered, I let out a laugh.

"No, you really don't." I say before Serafall pills me away.

"I'll be teleporting you to your start point, and we need to start on time, this fight has a lot of people watching, no pressure though." she says before she leans in and whispers. "Good job with the kiss earlier, you'll have her in no time." she says giving me a thumbs up before she activates another magical circle, giving my a slap on the ass before she steps out of it.

Looking around I see that I am on top of a Keep on top of a hill, and I can see another Keep on top of another hill, there's a river separating each hill, and some trees on each hill, not enough to be a forest, but they could work as cover. Immediately I summon my Scheming Spirits sending them towards the other Keep, they won't be doing anything that I don't know about.

Now, it's time for my horde.

- Rias -

"...we are going to lose." Koneko says looking at the giant dragon flying around the keep.

"Let's not give up so quickly, we can at least make him work for his victory." Sona said pushing her glasses up as she used some magnification magic to give them a better view of the opposite keep. They looked over the battlefield, watching as dozens of skeletons clawed their way out of the ground and the heavily armoured knight-like undead walked out of the Keep, the Living Armours following behind them. "As worrying as his numbers are we have a bigger problem, his Spirits are no doubt already spying on us, and any plan w make, he will know before we can even start it. As much as I don't like it, none of us even have the ability to see them, let alone counter them."

"His archer ones, I think they are called Bayroks, will be a problem as well... if we try and approach by air, they'll fill us with arrows, they are very good shots." Rias says looking over the forces taking position around the rival Keep.

"And Momo and Reya are still learning to use Staring Blue and Green, they're getting good with their bows, but they're still learning, they won't be able to outshoot the undead who specialise in archery. We can't approach by ground either, there isn't enough cover, and we'd be attacked constantly by his skeletons, I can count 56 skeletons, 50 of the weaker ones, 5 of the stronger variety and one much larger one. I can definitely see why he laughed when you said he was out numbered. The hounds will be a problem as well, in the last game he sent them to hunt people travelling alone, at least in the open they'll be less dangerous than they were in the forest. But honestly this type of field benefits him more than it does us, I had hoped for a empty town type where we would have plenty of cover, but in this open area the Dragon is going to be the biggest threat, aside from Kuro himself." Sona said, trying to find a way to counter the beast. "We have never seen it in action, he either didn't have it, or didn't use it in the last game." as she went to continue Serafall's voice filled the arena.

"Welcome everyone, to the epic battle between Kuro the Necromancer and the combined forces of Rias Gremory and my adorable Sona-tan!" she started as Sona sighed.

"Who thought it was a good idea to let her near a microphone?" Sona said as Rias smirked at her.

"I think it's more, no one was brave enough to try and keep her from the microphone..."

"The objective is simple, Kuro-kun has to defeat both Rias, and Sona-tan, and they in turn have to beat him. The rest of the teams don't matter, only the three kings! You might think that puts Kuro-kun at a disadvantage, but given the big angry dragon I think he might have the advantage. Don't give up Sona-tan! Beat that big bad Necromancer!" Serafall cheered.

"Someone take the microphone away from her..."

"Now, it's time to start the party! In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! It's time, kick his sexy ass Sona-tan!"

"Please take the microphone away from her..." Sona moaned facepalming...

As she did she heard a roar, as they all turned they saw the Dragon heading directly for them. With a panicked shout they all fled inside the keep, just in time to see the roof get light up in green flames.

The tower shook as the dragon landed on it, it's claws digging into the rock as they ran to the bottom floor.

"I knew that thing was going to be a problem... we can't hide down here forever, the stone won't hold it back for long." Sona said as they gathered at the bottom of the stairs, still feeling the keep shake as the Skeletal Dragon tried to tear the roof off, before it went silent.

Akeno opened the door slightly peeking out of the gap.

"It's flying back... it's just landed on Kuro's keep." she said before her eyes widened, she slammed the door shut just as a black arrow with a dark liquid coating it shot into it, the tip sticking out of the other side, despite the doors thickness.

"...His archers have us pinned. There's only two exits to the keep, the front door and the roof, and the roof exit has collapsed under the Dragon's attacks, it would take a considerable amount of time to clear it... the front door is our only real exit and we can't leave that without being shot at... Kuro is an annoying opponent to fight." Sona said with a sigh as she considered their options. As she did they all turned in worry as an axe hit the closed door.

- Kuro -

My Dragon did a good job smashing the keeps roof entrance, even if they try and clear it, I'll know, and my Dragon will fly back and finish the job. Now while they hid away my horde made it across the river, with minimal issues, and have surrounded the tower.

I've kept the Death Knights, Frost Knights and Living Armours back, and just sent the Skeletons. I've got my regular Skeletons are hacking away at the door and frankly, I can't see them managing to beat the Bone Golem even if they somehow defeat the Greater Skeletons. Plus my Bayrok's are pinning them in place so they can't leave the keep that's about to be full of Skeletons.

I kinda want to join in...

I'll just dismiss my Dragon for now, my Death Knights and Frost Knights as well, they were complete overkill for this fight anyway.

"And Kuro sends his Dragon away, is he already certain of his victory?!" Serafall's voice cries out.

Walking out of the Keep I summon and mount my Nightmare Horse, riding it down the hill as my Armours follow behind, since this is just a friendly match I might as well have some fun.

The river is only a small one, and it's pretty shallow, so my Horse simply pushes through it easily.

Stopping behind my horde I watch as the skeletons keep smashing the door with their axes, they can't hide in their forever. Still this is taking too long... sending a new order I make the skeletons pull back as my Bone Golem lumbers forwards, simply punching the door making it fly back... looking in confusion I stare at the empty keep, I pulled my spirits back since they had nowhere to go...

Hopping off my horse I walk into the Keep with my Greater Skeletons following me, as I look in annoyance at the bookcase, pulled to the side to reveal a tunnel going under the keep.

Oh.

- Sona -

"Good find Koneko-chan. We might actually have a chance if we fight down here." Rias said patting Koneko's head.

"From the sounds upstairs the door have been broken down, we'll have company soon enough, even if the bigger undead won't be able to fit down here." Sona said cautiously. "We wouldn't be able to fight well down here ourselves, the tunnels are too narrow for us to all be able to fight together, it might be better to split into two groups for now."

They'd headed down into what seemed like a maze of tunnels under the arena, Koneko had heard the wind blowing through it, and pulled the bookcase aside, just in time before something smashed the door down.

"Shall we split into our two Peerage's? We'll be able to work as a team better with our own Peerage's after all." Rias said as they looked back in the direction they came from, hearing the sounds of movement heading their way.

"Agreed, we need to keep moving though, at the next turn I'll go left, you go right." she responds, as they keep moving.

- Kuro -

A Maze, that's... annoying.

I've sent my Skeleton's in 5 groups of 10 with a Greater and a Bayrok leading each group as they search the tunnels for the hiding devils, but this place is massive.

I'm joining the search with five living armours, and the rest of them are guarding the entrance with the Bone Golem, just in case they try heading back out while I am down here, my Spirits are searching as well.

I've re-summoned the Death Knights and had them go back to my keep and guard my entrance to the tunnels, they won't be getting out at that side either.

I still have the advantage here, once one group finds them the rest will rush to their location, guided by my spirits. I just have to actually find them first...

- Rias's Group -

This wasn't going great, they might have a slight better chance down here, but they were still at a major disadvantage, Kuro's numbers alone gave him the advantage, and Koneko could hear countless footsteps from the undead scouring the tunnels for them.

"Sona-tan's Knight is down! Oh no! Fight back Sona-tan!" Serafall's voice cried out making them all wince.

As they turned a corner the froze, seeing the small horde of Skeleton's shambling towards them.

"Akeno, now!" Rias ordered as Akeno immediately sent a bolt of lightning at them, the lead skeleton simply raised it's large shield tanking the attack as they all made that chattering noise, she wasn't sure during the first Rating Game, but she was sure now.

They were laughing at them.

Lashing out with her Powers of Destruction she managed to strike the lead skeleton in the head making the chattering stop as they all charged them in anger, their empty eye sockets glowing red.

As one of them lunged forwards, bringing their greatsword down in and overhead swing aimed at her, Kiba moved in the way, blocking it with a created sword as he was forced to his knees, his eyes widening at the strength behind the strike.

"Sona-tan's Bishop is down as well! It's not looking good!"

As he tried to push back the blade another Skeleton attempted to strike him in the side with it's axe, only for Koneko to punch it in her skull, knocking it back.

"...boom." she said calmly as the skeleton exploded from being hit with a fist coated in Variant Destruction. She was entirely too fond of her new Sacred Gear. Or maybe she just liked making things explode.

Akeno and Rias both blasted the one overpowering Kiba with Lightning and Destruction magic blasting it back. They watched in shock as it simply got back up, seemingly unharmed from the magical onslaught. The ones blown up also started rising up, one of them grabbing their blown off arms and reattaching it as they started chattering again.

"Fall back, Koneko cause some more explosions to cover our retreat." Rias ordered as they backed away from the Skeleton's, she couldn't help feel just a hint of dread as the Skeleton's just chattered louder, not pursuing them.

"Rias... we have a problem." Akeno said getting her attention as she turned around to see a wall of Living Armours in their way, the wall split slightly allowing Kuro to walk past them as he smirked at them.

"Hi Honey, how's your day going?" he asked with a grin as she immediately fired her Destruction magic at him, a armour blocking it with it's shield. "I'll take that as 'not good'..." he said with a laugh.

"Sona-tan's other Bishop has fallen! Is this the end!"

"New plan, we just have to beat Kuro! Focus on him." she ordered as they rushed him.

- Sona's Group (Earlier) -

"Sona-tan's Knight is down! Oh no! Fight back Sona-tan!" Serafall's voice cried out.

"Dammit. Momo, Reya, take out that archer!" Sona ordered, they'd been caught off guard by an arrow from behind, taking out Tomoe in an instant as she was teleported away.

Her Bishops returned fire, but the Archer hid behind the skeleton's, who were using their shields to block the light arrows keeping the Archer safe as it popped out and fired.

Firing a wave of water magic she sighed as it barely even affected the Skeleton's, her Peerage was rather specialised in using Reversal Magic, but that was no use here.

Ruruko and Tsubasa were hand-to-hand combatants... and she wouldn't send them to fight the skeleton's even with their enhanced strengths, it would be suicide, and Tsubaki couldn't fight them all with her Naginata. That wasn't to say that they weren't doing any good, as Ruruko managed to knock another arrow out of the air, but they were fighting a losing battle.

As she went to order a retreat she froze, seeing Momo fall with an arrow in the back, another group of undead approach from behind.

"Sona-tan's Bishop is down as well! It's not looking good!"

Yeah, she'd noticed.

One less damage dealer, and now they had to defend from two directions, with nowhere to run.

Creating a magical shield she winced as it was struck by a arrow, making a small crack in it... it wouldn't last.

Gathering her magic she sent a massive water dragon at the new group, smashing it into the archer, letting out a relived sigh as it fell to the ground.

Her relief was short-lasted as it rose back up, glaring at her angrily.

She was supposed to be a master tactician, but she couldn't see a way to get out of this.

Though she had learnt something very important... her Peerage lacked in pure power... they were too specialised, and while the two Sacred Gears he'd given her helped a lot, it wasn't enough...

Didn't Kuro manage to make a regular Fallen much stronger? After this she'd have to approach him about training her Peerage...

"Sona-tan's other Bishop has fallen! Is this the end!?"

...As she watched Reya be teleported away she sighed, she didn't expect to win, but she wanted to at least make him work for his victory... this was just embarrassing.

Still the fault was hers, she'd underestimated Kuro's undead, and overestimated herself.

As she threw up two magical shields blocking both sides, the undead rushed her, smashing through the shields easily as they swarmed her and her remaining pieces.

Blasting the closest Skeleton with her water magic she closed her eyes as the next skeleton ran her through with it's spear before she could react.

- Rias -

"Sona-tan's down! How could you do that Kuro-kun?! I'm going to spank you for that!" Serafall's voice cried out. "Sona-tan's Queen, Rook and Pawn are down! Get him Rias-chan!"

For a Mage Kuro was unnaturally fast, as Kiba charged him he dodged under the blade and lashed out, punching Kiba in the side before he grabbed a blade from an Armour and clashed with him, surprisingly holding his own against the Knight.

Akeno and Rias tried to hold off the Skeleton's advancing for behind, Koneko attacked the armours, using Variant Destruction to blast the Armours back while Kuro and Kiba fought, their blades clashing.

For a moment she thought Kiba was going to win, as he managed to land a strike on Kuro's chest, before a pale green light shot from Kuro's hand striking Kiba, when they clashed again, Kiba was far slower, barely able to keep up.

"That's cheating..." Kiba half-laughed as he fell to a knee, the blade cutting along his leg.

"I'm a mage... why would Magic be cheating?" Kuro asked amused as he went to finish Kiba off.

As he did Koneko jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms around him as she started glowing brightly.

"Sorry, Koneko-chan... but you shouldn't have done that... Dead Bone Pulse, Dance of the Larch..." he shouted as bones shot out of his body impaling Koneko, Rias could see them sticking out of her back before they retracted, Koneko falling as she vanished in a flash of light.

"Rias's Rook is down, falling some spiky bones! Bad Kuro, hurting poor innocent Koneko like that!"

"Poor innocent? She was trying to blow me up..." Kuro muttered before he smirks at her. "Dead Bone Pulse... Dance of the Camellia!" he says pulling out a bone from his upper arm and rapidly stabbing it at Kiba, who tried to block but with his lowered speed was quickly overwhelmed, making him vanish in a light.

"Rias's Knight is down as well, only two left!"

"Stop." Kuro ordered making his undead all freeze in place. "I'd suggest giving up, you can't win in this situation." he said dropping the bone blade as he stared them down.

"Sorry Kuro-kun... but I don't really want to.." Akeno said sending a wave of lightning at him, which was blocked by another Armour.

"So be it.. Dead Bone Pulse, Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets." he said swinging his hands towards her as his finger-bones fired out with a loud sound, the sharp bones tearing through Akeno as she dropped clutching her stomach.

"Rias's Queen is down. And now it's just Rias and Kuro!"

"You sure you don't want to surrender?" He asked calmly, as the holes in his fingers healed... why did this all feel so familiar? Bone Weapons... wait really?

"Stealing ideas from Naruto... really?" she asked as she called up all her magic, for one last attempt. A small grin appeared on her face as he blushed.

"Not exactly, it's complicated..." he said rubbing his neck as he sighed, as he did she acted, sending a snake made of her magic at him as his eyes widened.

Letting out a disappointed sigh she looked at the slightly damaged armour that blocked her shot. Kuro could be distracted, his guards couldn't be.

"...I don't have any magic left. But I'm not giving up, no one else did." she says as he approached, pulling out another blade of bone...

She didn't realise just how much of a Otaku he was...

"Sorry, sexy. But this wasn't a fair fight, it's hard to fight a guy with an army of undying monsters..." he said calmly before he held it against her neck.

"Rias is in checkmate! Kuro wins!" Serafall announces as they both get teleported away.

"Rias-tan! Are you ok?! Did he hurt you?! Don't worry, I'll disintegrate him immediately!" Sirzechs shouts as she hugs Rias.

"No, you won't. I'm fine, and I lost fair and square. You aren't allowed to get involved!" Rias says annoyed as she pushes her sister away from her.

"Kuro-kun! Get over here so I can spank you for hurting Sona-tan!" Serafall shouts running towards me... these fucking sis-cons...

As I attempt to escape Serafall grabs me pulling me away while Rias attempts to escape from Sirzechs. Despite my best efforts I get dragged into a side room easily as she practically throws me into a seat.

"Bad Kuro-kun, you can't seduce Sona by stabbing her... are you going to pull her hair next?" She says pouting at me as she sits next to me.

"And I can't get her by taking it easy on her, she'd see me letting her win as an insult. Trust me, I'll have her soon enough, and then I'll have you, and you can have her." I say pulling her against me.

"You better, I've bet a lot on you..." she says cuddling against me.

"So is there a reason you kidnapped me? Or did you just want to cuddle?" I ask as she looks up at me, as she does I lean down and kiss her quickly making her eyes widen slightly before she kisses me back, practically climbing into my lap as she wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me closer.

After a few minutes she breaks the kiss smirking at me.

"I was going to punish you for bullying Sona-tan... but I guess I can let you off since you seem to be good at this seduction thing..." she says running her hands over my chest.

"...On a unrelated side-note, I needed to talk with you." I say sliding my hands under her skirt.

"Oh... and what would you want from me?" she asks sultrily as she undoes my school shirt.

"Nothing major... but say I accidentally made a fertility potion that might fix the Devils low birth rates, what do you think I should do with it?" I ask making her freeze. The sexy look on her face dropping as she stares at me.

"Are you being serious?" she asks with no trace of her flirty tone, she's full Satan mode at the moment.

"Yeah, I've not tested it yet, but I'm 95% sure it would work. If anything I think it will work too well..." I say pulling the white potion out of inventory. I had some wheat laying around, so I made 5 doses, with my Alchemical Efficiency upgrade, that's 10 total.

[Enhance Fertility] x 5

Increases the Fertility rates of anyone who drinks it by 750% for one week

Any pregnancy caused by the potion has a 75% chance of twins, a 37.5% chance of triplets, and a 18.75% chance of quadruplets

Honestly, this is what happens when you max out a crafting skill, everything you make is too powerful. The game says it'll work on any race that reproduces sexually, and despite it messing with me it's never actually lied to me.

"Out of curiosity how regular are twins, triplets and quadruplets in devil pregnancies?" I ask as she stares at the potion.

"Twins are very rare, triplets are almost unheard off, and there's never been a set of quadruplets... why?" she asks with something I can't quite place in her voice.

"Because I've done the maths, and this would make most pregnancies end in twins, around three out of four to be exact, along with a one in three chance of triplets, and just under a one in five chance of quadruplets. If one person drinks it (either the man or the woman) , then it will increase the pregnancy chance by to about seven times more likely. If they both drink it then... it'll be much much higher..." I say. I honestly don't know how to work out the increase if both partners are drinking it...

Would it be 750 x 750? Cause that's a very big number, if it is then the women will end up super pregnant, probably have like 10 kids at once, but that's there problem not mine.

"You realise that you are holding liquid gold right? If it can do even a quarter of what you calculated then you're going to be the richest and most popular man in the Underworld..." she says seriously. "Literally you;ll have people lining up for a drop, how hard was this to make?" she asked.

I could lie and make it sound really hard, or I could be honest with her. She is a definite ally...

- Serafall -

She couldn't even begin to put a price on that Vial of white softly glowing liquid... how could she? If he was telling the truth, and she believed him, he never bragged unless he could back it up... then that vial was essentially the future of the Devil Race, no more panicking about Pure-bloods dying out when they could just have a dozen kids... it'd essentially cement their place as the strongest faction, even if she was sure Azazel would force his way into the deal. But they could leave Heaven in the dirt, besides Heaven wouldn't risk starting a war if the Devils had much higher numbers...

She'd tentatively place Azazel and the Fallen into the allies category, but she didn't particularly trust them, but Azazel was too close to Kuro for her to cut him out of this, at least not without ruining relations with the Fallen completely.

"Honestly? This is a really easy potion to make... I used regular, easy to get materials and made ten doses in a few minutes... after I work out a recipe all I need are the ingredients and I can make them incredibly fast." he admits with a shrug, making her eyes widen as he moved her from his lap and placed all ten vials from... somewhere? And placed them on the table in front of them. One day she'd work out where he was keeping all his things, but it wouldn't be today. She had more important things to worry about than his magic pockets. "Why don't you take these eight, and test them yourself. I'm sure you can find some childless devil couples to help with the experiment." he says with a shrug...

She could think of nine different couples who'd give just about anything for even the slightest chance of pregnancy of the top of her head. If she went over her files she was sure that number would skyrocket, Kuro had no idea what pregnancy meant to Devils.

"And you're just giving them to me?" she asked looking over the unassuming vials.

"I'm fairly certain that no one but my will be able to recreate them even with the samples, Azazel hasn't managed to work out my Healing potions even with all the samples I gave him. And I don't really want to do the actual testing myself if I can get you to do it." he says with a lazy shrug.

Dumping the leg work on her? That was perfectly fine, she couldn't bring herself to be upset over that. Not with the potential benefits of it.

"I'll get right on that, and let you know how it goes, we have magic to detect pregnancies very early, so it shouldn't take long... Say goodbye to Sona for me, but I have to get to work immediately..." she said getting up, she'd already comforted Sona on her loss, not that she really needed comforting since she'd expected to lose.

She was logical like that...

"Will do, so I'll here from you soon?" he asked getting up as well.

"Definitely... as soon as I get some results.." she said giving him a quick kiss goodbye, maybe she should get Ajuka in on this?

Nah, not yet anyway. He was great at this stuff, but he could be difficult to deal with, he spent a long time trying to find a way to increase Devil Fertility, and she wasn't sure if he'd be impressed or angry that someone beat him too it.

Better to leave it until she had proof to stop any tantrum from him if he didn't like someone doing his job better than he did.

- Kuro -

So... it was important? Good to know.

I got a message that her affection couldn't be raised to 100 until her quest has been completed so I can't raise her affection despite this, but whatever.

I only need 1 point to max her out, and I just need to get Sona first and then I get Serafall fully maxed out, and that's a stupidly powerful girl who'll be a permanent ally, which is wonderful.

As I leave the room I immediately get pushed back in by Sirzechs.

"Will you all stop pushing and pulling me?" I ask annoyed as Sirzechs pushes me back into the seat as she paces back and forth.

"...Rias loves you. I don't like that." she starts as she stops in front of me glaring down at me angrily.

"I can't control her actions, why are you getting mad at me, I did what you hired me to do." I say as Sirzechs eye narrow before she sighs and starts pacing again. After a moment she stops grabbing me by the shirt and lifting me from me seat, before she throws me back into it growling under her breath.

"I know, you did what I wanted... and this is just the consequences of that. Do you know that Grayfia doesn't want to leave your home? Answer me truthfully, I'll know if you're lying. Are you sleeping with my wife?" she asks glaring at me as I freeze.

Err...

"You are, you don't even need to say anything. I should end you." she says making her powers of destruction coat her hand as she reaches out before she vanishes it.

This bitch is insane. And completely unstable.

"You made a deal with Serafall involving Sona... what was it?" she demands as her magic sends little bursts of destruction off her body, hitting random objects in the room, disintegrating them.

"Serafall wants me to seduce Sona, so when Serafall joins my harem they can be together without any issues..." I say quickly.

Intimidation Resistance Check Failed

"...I want Rias. I've wanted her a lot longer than you can know. And I don't want to share her, what I want to do is just end you and keep her for myself. But she loves you. And if I did she'd never forgive me if I hurt you." she says getting her magic under control. "...I need to think about this, you are not to have sex with Rias until I get back to you, if you need sex just use Grayfia instead, I don't care." she says crossing her arms before an angry voice calls out.

"You don't care? Of course not, I'm not your precious little sister." Grayfia sneers with a glare as Sirzechs freezes.

"G-grayfia-chan? I- Umm... I can explain?" she stutters.

"No. No you cannot." she says. "Lady Serafall sent me to take Lord Kuro home, please go somewhere not here."

"Like you can complain, you're the one having an affair!" Sirzechs shouts as they glare at each other, with me suddenly feeling out of place.

"You mean when I had to use my body to fix your idiotic mistakes? And don't pretend to be upset, you haven't cared for a long time. Even if it's taken me this long to accept that." Grayfia says coldly as she moves in between me and Sirzechs. "Lord Kuro is an essential part of Devil Society, and Lady Serafall has ordered me to keep him safe, I suggest you leave Sirzechs, or would you like me to bring Lady Rias so you can explain your words to her? What was it? You've wanted her a lot longer than we can know?" she says as Sirzechs flinches.

"I... remember what I said Kuro, I will visit you when I have decided what I want to do about this..." she says as she teleports out.

"When she returns, make sure I am there. She has become more and more unhinged over the years and Devil King can't risk her killing you in her madness." Grayfia says as she looks me over seeing no injuries. "As Sirzechs's queen, allow me to... reimburse you for that idiots actions..." she says pulling her dress off with a sultry look.

- Grayfia -

Fuck Sirzechs. That was what this had taught her, that her precious king could go fuck herself with a cactus.

Serafall had asked her to watch over Kuro, in case their were any consequences for a 'world-changing' discovery, and what did she find? Her king finally admitting out loud that she wanted Rias, and didn't want her.

But that was fine, because Kuro definitely wanted her. More than Sirzechs ever had, even with his Harem, he still wanted her...

So he could have her, whenever and however he wanted.

Striping her dress off she threw her underwear off, and knelt in front of him, pulling his school trousers and boxers down.

Normally she'd use her mouth, but right now she just wanted to get fucked.

Maybe Sirzechs would come back, that would make this perfect.

- Kuro -

+40 Affection with Grayfia Lucifuge [11/100] (due to 'Fuck Sirzechs with a cactus')

Grayfia wasted no time, almost immediately after practically ripping my bottoms off she climbs into my lap, slamming herself down to the hilt as she captures my mouth with her own.

I cast my Eromancer spells, Arose (not that it was necessary), Enhance Pleasure, Touch of Pleasure, Heighten Sensitivity and Heighten Libido before realising that maybe I shouldn't have cast that last one, the look in her eyes is actually scary as her hips speed up.

"We aren't stopping till you've filled my slutty maid womb with your potent seed, the bitch said you could use me, so that's what you're going to do." she says as she slams herself down, with a slightly mad look in her eyes.

"What if you get pregnant?" I say groping her ass while she rides.

"So what? She said you could fuck me, so that's what you're going to do. I wanted another child anyway." she moans out as she places her head on my shoulder, biting down hard enough to draw blood.

She'd never applied for a job before, how did this even work?

Looking over her CV she nodded happily, thankfully the nice lady at the employment office helped her work out what to put on it, maybe she was the first grim reaper to use this method?

That'd be cool, she was a modern Grim Reaper after all.

Grim Reaper for Hades

Supporting Hades I hunted escaped souls, and his enemies and harvested their souls. I left on account of him wanting to kill me, and being a general asshole.

Hades – Underworld (I wouldn't advise calling him, he kinda wants to kill you)

There, it was complete. She had to alter the nice lady's memory's after she read it but that was fine.

There was no way he wouldn't hire her, now she just had to go and give it to him... or should she send it to him instead?

Nah, it was more professional if she handed it over in person.

Tomorrow then, after he finished school she would go to his castle and introduce herself.

Nothing could possibly go wrong.
